It looks like they have a Bundle on sale on Steam for £2.39 at the moment. Capitalize on the hot news coverage i suppose?

Holy shit, these guys need to get their asses legally and financially handed to them in as many ways as possible for how ridiculously they're abusing the legal system.

No, its in the OP, they are trying to sue steam users as Joe Doe plaintiffs. However, the are subpoenaing Valve to provide user information so the complaint can be amended with real names in place of the Joe Does..
No, the July filing was Romine filing an Amended Reply. Now you're in the indeterminable zone of waiting for a federal judge to do something.
Just so we're clear, SLAPP doesn't apply here.
In addition to the other videos, this is a good overview:

Plus he's representing himself... so... yeah... The reality is even more absurd than the Simpson's comic linked above, if you can believe it.

It took awhile for DH to get to that point, though. Put any other shitshow like DH under the spotlight by someone like Jim Sterling for a year or two and who knows what crazy shit they'd do. Steam Greenlight is a beacon for shady people.

The Jimquisition episode will be such a thing of beauty that it'll be memorialised frame-by-frame in a museum built of giant purple dildos and rare shiny Pogs.
i cannot contain my laughter either.
Will probably take some time though.
I can actually imagine this is the exact reaction of Valve's legal department every time new correspondence from DH comes in.

One lets play video from Jim and they released a snarky reuploaded version calling him a f*ing idiot and moron etc etc. It took a while for them to sue him but they brought the full attention of Jim upon themselves when, if they'd have let that one video go, barely anyone would even know about them.
Oh my lord, the people at the legal places must be losing their shit at this.One of the steam accounts they are suing:
it's something the user can set under "advanced", for when you're talking about a game/news story but not actually using footage

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
Everybody should change their username to "Nathos"
Imagine the trial
"No, I am Nathos" "I am Nathos too" "No, I! am Nathos!"
Imagine the trial
"No, I am Nathos" "I am Nathos too" "No, I! am Nathos!"

This guy actually needs mental health treatment.
Not even trying to be funny. He really does.

Agreed. Listening him talk in Jim's podcast interview was unnerving. He's not stable. It's real concerning for his family and kids. His brother or w.e it is that's with him on this lawsuits is just enabling him out of ignorance.

Well, playing their games can cause emotional damage.

They're probably trying to get them to do exactly that and then they'll try to sue Valve itself.
Sue them on what grounds? It's a private company

Financial damage for pulling their games, I'd wager. Who knows what goes on in Digital Homicide's little world.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I have never heard of them until they started suing people. Now I have heard of them.

Wonder if they'll go after the channel owned by the giant MCN with the huge legal department who would drown them in court fees after they school them in court?

They probably have no idea what anything you said even means.

I just want them to pick a fight with a company like Fullscreen which is the biggest MCN on YouTube and who's legal department would rip them to shreds.

My personal favorite review
"This game is stereotypical of most offerings from Digital Homicide. Exhibiting an exceptionally basic premise that offers less content than free flash games, Winged Knights: Penetration is literally what you see is what you get. Not even enough content for a Demo, the Developers still have the unmitigated gall to charge money for this travesty. Do yourself and the rest of the world a favor and spend your money on a Development team that is actually interested in producing enjoyable content. You will be making the world a better place by not purchasing this pathetic excuse of an offering."
if this guy gets sued i'll pay his legal fees.
